Planning Searches

As well as the planning application search below there are links to Norfolk County Council planning application search,  NNDC  tree works and tree preservation order search and an NNDC  planning enforcements search with an online form for submitting details of a suspected breach of planning. 

---

• You can view details of planning applications from 1974, scanned decision notices from 1993, and plans and accompanying documents for applications registered from 1st August 2005.
• Images of most scaled drawings received since the 1st May 2010 may be measured using Adobe Reader extensions. See a very brief guide to using the measuring tool (pdf 55KB) or a longer guide (pdf 325KB) from the Planning Portal.
• If the status of an application in the search results list is 'Consultation period' you can comment or respond to a consultation request using an online form. Note that submission details do not appear on the website immediately - this can take two or more days after you make a comment online.

Search Hints

• Application Quick Search - you don't need to type the full reference - for the new style reference, use YY/nnnn e.g. 09/1234
  For the old style reference, use YYYYnnnn e.g. 20051234 (for applications registered up to the 28th October 2009).
• Search by Address - works best with a partial address like 'High Street, Holt'.
  A Postcode search will not always bring up all applications for that postcode.
• Use the More Search Options at the bottom of the page to search on one or more of Parish, Location or date range, or to search for appeals.

In the Results

• Consultation expiry date is 21 days after the latest of the Site Notice Date and Press date.
• Decision Level
  Members - Decision will be made by the relevant Development Control Committee.
  Delegated - Decision will be made by a Planning Officer.
• Committee Meeting Date
  Please be aware that this date can be changed. To be sure that an application is going to a particular committee, check the agenda  on the Committee Pages five working days before the meeting. 
• Consultation - Summary of Responses
  For applications received before the 29th October 2009 the summary of responses numbers will usually be zero, even though you can see the names of interested parties who have responded.
  PLEASE NOTE, for Non Material Amendment applications there is no requirement to publicise the application - despite the wording of the web page.
